"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Back in the New York Groove

So Gary Sanchez gets a four-game suspension and Romine gets two. That sounds about right. Alex Wilson gets four and the instigator of it all, Miggy Cabrera, is nailed with a week. Naturally, he served up a hot dish of Crybaby Souffle to reporters after he got the news.

Mike Axisa has the lowdown, as alway.

Never mind that, now duly bonded in brotherhood, let’s see how our boys handle the Mariners this weekend back home in the Bronx. It is uncommonly lovely here in New York, a slight chill in the air hinting at the fall ahead of us. Beautiful night for a ballgame with our old pal C.C. on the hill. Not only that, but Starlin Castro makes his return to the lineup.

Never mind the lumps (or the goofy-ass jerseys):

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Paulie O says they look like a Little League All Star team with the uniforms, the different sneakers (C.C. OH MY!). Pretty great call.

2 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:11 pm

I thought the suspensions were light

3 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:13 pm

Mike Axisa rules!

I don't hate the jerseys as much as expected. In fact, I think I might actually like them...

Fuck Miggy. That guy's always been an asshole.

my softball team has nicer jerseys and hats.

5 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:14 pm

and I HATE names on the backs of the Yanks

6 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:16 pm

and get those kids off my lawn!

7 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:19 pm

Nope, dont look right. But not as bad as the red hats

8 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:21 pm

Oh, it's definitely weird. It's very spring training like. One day would probably be better than a full weekend of it. But, yeah, the red hats are awful. I don't like the camo one either. Really, the only one I dig is the Father's Day blue. I actually have a t-shirt of that.

9 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:28 pm

Whew on the grounds rule. Keep it scoreless...dub.

10 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:29 pm

Gamel's got great hair. Glad he's on a team that doesn't go against nature! : )

11 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:31 pm

Please hit it out the courtroom, Judge.

12 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:32 pm

His did he not crush that pitch?

13 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:32 pm

How, not his. Damn iphone

14 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:36 pm

Paulie with the paradiddles!! Best announcing thing EVER!!!!!

15 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:39 pm

Incredible how close failure and success is in this game. Judge gets 3 good pitches to hit, fouls 2 off, pops up the 3rd. Earlier in the year any one of those pitches is nailed over the fence. So humbling. So cruel. So close. So far.

16 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:43 pm

Crap. Keep the shutout in tact.

17 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:44 pm

97 from CC

18 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:47 pm

Yeah, CC

19 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:51 pm

No more perfecto!

20 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:53 pm

Bad night for catchers

21 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:57 pm

I think Cano should have gone with Jackie on his jersey

22 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 6:59 pm

Bases juiced. Still no hits off this chump! It's high time for one.

23 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:00 pm

Shit

24 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:02 pm

Dammit, just short

25 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:02 pm

Fuck

No hitter intact. In tact, even.

26 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:05 pm

Damn - Stanton now has 49 homers!

27 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:06 pm

Oh no. We're losing...

28 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:19 pm

All Starlin! A hit

29 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:20 pm

Don't fail here

30 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:21 pm

Fail.

31 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:24 pm

Bases loaded again...

32 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:25 pm

Come on, whadda ya allergic to scoring runs? How about it, Todd?

33 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:27 pm

Sigh, more RISP fail

34 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:27 pm

Boo

35 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:28 pm

This just in: A Major League professional looks that much dumber striking out when the name on the back of their jersey reads ToddFather

36 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:43 pm

Wow, short leash

37 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 25, 2017 7:47 pm

Fuck this fucking game. lol

38 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:04 pm

Oh good, the Red Sawx are losing

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:20 pm

C'mon, Brett!

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:40 pm

Judge moves like another big Yankee ... Winfield.

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:41 pm

Gah! Horrible.

52 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:42 pm

Safe! Why aren't they reviewing it??

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:42 pm

Double and triple shit.

54 51cq24   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:42 pm

nice photo, alex, but what's that black covering the top of the ny life building? i used to work there.

55 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:43 pm

His foot was in there! Out of the baseline, maybe?

56 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:43 pm

Sigh.

Just ... sigh.

57 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:43 pm

[52] Maybe because he deserves to be out for that fuckup?

58 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:44 pm

But...he was safe!

59 51cq24   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:52 pm

[54] i figured it out, never mind!

60 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:56 pm

Jesus, this game makes me want to go down to the garage and start the car and just ... wait ... for the sweet embrace of death.

61 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:56 pm

Total failure

62 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:58 pm

This is going to extra innings, isn't it?

63 51cq24   ~  Aug 25, 2017 8:59 pm

[60] this game? i've felt that way since june. thankfully, i don't have a car.

64 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:00 pm

[62] Not if Betances has anything to do with it ...

65 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:07 pm

Jesus fucking Christ. Enough with the fucking walks.

1-pitch double play instead.

66 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:08 pm

I've got a bad feeling here

67 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:09 pm

One more, please.

68 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:10 pm

Uh-oh. It's Robbie...

I smell bases clearing double off a sweet swing.

69 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:10 pm

Not gonna boo Cano. I have no problem with going for the biggest paycheck.

70 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:11 pm

Wow!

Gotta win now.

71 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:11 pm

Yes!

Walk off time

72 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:13 pm

Onions!

73 51cq24   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:14 pm

74 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:18 pm

Come on, Kraken

75 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:19 pm

Aaron - please rise once again. Pretend it's before the all-star game.

76 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:20 pm

Here come The Judge!

77 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:20 pm

81 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:31 pm

Let's walk this off now; I don't wanna see chapman in this game.

82 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:34 pm

C'mon, Didi!

83 51cq24   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:34 pm

[73] was so worried i jinxed us

84 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:36 pm

saws getting killed. we NEED this one.

85 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:37 pm

This is wasteful.

86 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:39 pm

Ugh

87 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:40 pm

Bollox.

Hamma only threw 16 pitches. Instead, chapman is gonna lose the game here...

88 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:43 pm

Buckle up.

89 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:44 pm

99 (strike), 100 (ball), 100 (out).

The Todfather is pretty good over there at the hot corner!

90 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:45 pm

What positioning!

91 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:45 pm

Wow, just turned to the local news for a minute. High school football season here in Ohio. Which is a big thing for some reason.

92 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:46 pm

Whelp, there ya go.

93 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:47 pm

That's not good.

94 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:47 pm

how many more years and how many more millions?

95 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:47 pm

Nice work, Chapman. Put it on a tee.

96 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:48 pm

And there's the ball game. Knew it. Fuck this fuming clown. He cannot be trusted. Shit sox got crushed and we needed this game. Fucking shithead.

97 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:49 pm

Fuming? Really, iPhone? FUCK!

98 51cq24   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:51 pm

chapman is throwing 2-3 mph less than usual and no one is talking about it because he's still throwing 101 mph. but he's not right. stop using him and put him on the dl.

99 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:51 pm

4.23 era for the fucking shitfucker.

100 thelarmis   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:53 pm

Warning track power

102 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:54 pm

3 innings of them trying to hit home runs.

103 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:55 pm

Chapman makes me appreciate Mo all that more. Only one time did he struggle for a couple of weeks.

104 rbj   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:58 pm

He's safe. Gawd blue is bad

105 51cq24   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:59 pm

hilariously bad call

106 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 25, 2017 9:59 pm

GREAT call, Blue.

Jesus.

I hope that I have nice dreams. Probably not.
